A medical patient restraint device is provided for additional comfort while restraining patients during surgical procedures such as the circumcision of infants. The patient restraint device has a generally planar support member which is sized to receive and support a patient in a lying position thereon. The support member defines opposite side edges. A pair of support straps are fixed to the support member and extend along respective side edge portions in a generally parallel relationship. The pair of support straps are laterally spaced apart a distance sufficient to receive the patient therebetween with the support straps being parallel to and adjacent the sides of the patient. Individual restraining straps are provided for releasable connection to respective ones of the patient's arms and legs. Mating fasteners are fixed to the pair of support straps and the individual restraining straps such that each of the restraining straps may be releasably attached to one of the pair of support straps so as to permit the individual straps to retain the patient in a spread-eagle position on the support member and without having the individual restraining straps extending across the torso of the patient.
